(Ctrl+Shift+E), extract all to documents (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E), extract to
1..3&deg; bookmarked paths (if defined), and extract to default
extraction path (if defined). Only first, second and third bookmarks
are shown as quick extraction destination to not clutter the menu, but
bookmarks 1..8 are all accessible with keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+1..8.
Ctrl+0 extracts to previous path.<br>

completes, set default extraction path.</li>

On the left, <span style="font-weight: bold;">navigation bar</span>

without

outside the intended destination. <br>
Drag from app to system can
be used both for extraction form archives and for robust file copy.<br>
PeaZip also accepts drag and drop from <span style="font-weight: bold;">system

add one or more archives to extraction list.<br>
Double clicking on a file in archive open it as

PeaZip is a fully modular software due to its frontend/backend
architecture, so
any backend binary can be independently replaced with alternative
versions (i.e. 64 bit versions) as long as the same syntax is supported.<br>
This design allows also to easily export tasks defined in the GUI as
command lines, to be used for future iterations of the same task, or
for learning purpose, or to fine tune the operation beyiond the scope
and limits of the graphical interface.<br>

PeaZip free file archiver utility can be
integrated
in
context menus of KDE and Gnome; all
resources to manually integrate portable version of the program, or
enhance installable version's integration, can be found in <span
 style="font-weight: bold;">FreeDesktop_integration</span> folder in
program's path.<br>
Instructions refers to a generic Linux system, but can be applied on
same desktop managers under BSD systems. Please note that different
distributions and different flavours of BSD may differ in some default
system's paths.<br>
            <span style="font-weight: bold;">Nautilus scripts</span>:
manually copy
'Archiving' folder, which is contained in 'nautilus-scripts', to your
user's profile '.gnome2/nautilus-scripts' folder; that folder is
hidden, so you can either find it flagging 'View&gt;Show hidden files'
in Nautilus, or clicking on 'Scripts&gt;Open scripts folder' in Gnome's
context menu.<br>
            <span style="font-weight: bold;">Konqueror (KDE 3.x)</span>
service menu (.desktop files):&nbsp; copy .desktop files from
"kde3-konqueror" folder to (kde directory)
/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus. Please note that KDE directory may
vary from distribution to distribution (or can even be customized by
the user at KDE installation); /opt/kde3 is usually a common place for
installing KDE and is used, in example, in Suse and OpenSuse. The (kde
directory) is specified in $KDEDIR in environment variable and can be
overridden by $KDEDIRS.<br>
This integration is automatically performed by the installer.<br>
            <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dolphin (KDE 4.x)</span>
service menu: copy .desktop files from "kde4-dolphin" to
/usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/. Please note that some
distribution may use different paths. This integration is automatically
performed by the installer.<br>
If the Qt version
does not start on some systems, as some system's visual styles may
cause recursive repainting error, you can fix the problem starting it
